I have some concerns about the game so far; I have read some posts on here and encountered some online users that have been very counter productive in game. Here is my experience getting to admiral level 8 in the last two weeks. When I first played the game I went straight to multiplayer with a friend and we learned as we went. I choose eldar and he choose chaos I think we won 10% of our games. We then researched and watched you tubers and they taught us how to play the game we deleted our admirals and we decided imperial would be the best starting faction to play online we won about 40% of our matches in the first 10 games. Then the next 10 games we won 80% of our matches. We decided it's time to go back to the factions we wanted to play from the start eldar and chaos; we started new admirals and we have about a 70% win rate online playing next to each other.

Level 8 Admirals

Last night we finally attained our battleships and we were excited! We played a couple games we lost some we won some but by no means were we overpowered. However, I took the maelstrom favor on all my ships possible which is just light cruisers at this point. I do have the pulsar range upgrade but this is by no means auto win. I have had enemies taunt me twice in a row and death to my battleship and these were cruisers. However I do recall one game we played where all of a sudden a eldar battleship caught our battle cruisers and light cruisers from behind and we were demolished. However the speed in which I died was no worse than when an orc jumps you.

Funniest Moment

I had a battle last night where my voidstalker was destroyed and I had one escort left; for some reason they never bothered killing my escort and in the end it was a orc battleship against my escort we were both full health I spent 4 mins running away I was defending using running silently and speed burst he eventually warped out and we won! I defeated a battleship with an escort. The funny thing is if he was smart he would have used the asteroid field I was using as cover as I ran around against me and just took the damage and killed me but alas he just warped out for an easy victory!!!

Im not sure if using a voidstalker against orcs is still a good idea today, since community developed 1001 ways to kill eldar battleship Although it is a sad thing to hear, that an orc battleship had trouble destroying a single escort unit

Maybe next time I battle an orc player, I should try to fight with a single light cruiser, just for fun and gigles.

Ya that's what the youtube dude told me but I figured I had an orc on my team so it would even out. However he did not have a battleship and although I took out the imp's he wasn't successful against the battleship and I believe his head on smash against a orc battleship with battle cruisers was ill advised I couldn't kill the imps fast enough lol. I wish people would use the team chat and tell me what fleet they are running. I would rather only one of us take a battleship in a 300 point game. I don't mind taking smaller ships I have taken down battleships with battle cruisers and light cruisers before!

There is teamchat. Just press shift-enter.It really needs to be shown in the chatlog though. Like in Dota: "Boreal [All]:" and "Boreal [Team]:" for example - at the moment, the messages look the same once you have sent them.
